Katie Couric on Donald Trump, the State of Journalism and Why She's Still Hopeful

Welcome back for Episode 24! In this episode, we're thrilled to bring you a special interview with legendary journalist Katie Couric. Andy asks Katie about the most defining moments of her career – from Colombine to 9/11, Katie has covered some important and painful moments in American history. And she's done it with humanity. We talk about the future of journalism in a polarized era, lessons she’s learned from personal loss, and why empathy matters in leadership. You’ll hear stories behind the headlines that shaped her remarkable journey. 🗞️

Then Andy sits down with Jon Rabinowitz and Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg to talk about political violence in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination. Mayor Greenberg shares his own firsthand experience with an attempted assassination and we discuss the lasting impact of these tragic acts on our democracy, our leaders and our communities. There has never been a more critical time for this personal and hard conversation about violence, unity and unwavering empathy for those that disagree with us.

And after a very serious conversation, we take a lighter approach with this week's Gen Z Lingo. ⏱️ Clock it!

This episode is about community, empathy, and finding common ground, especially when it's difficult. It's a heavy one, but it's important. Thanks for being here with us processing the hard stuff. ❤️ Here on the Andy Beshear Podcast, we're getting through it together.
